Abstract: For various political, commercial and humanitarian reasons there is a desire to detect intrusion of stowaways into lorries and other freight vehicles. Many traditional intrusion detectors operate on the bases of detecting an increase in carbon dioxide within a space as indicator of presence of a human. A problem arises when the freight vehicle is carrying perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables which give off CO2 as they perish which makes it difficult to reliably attribute the cause of an elevation in CO2 concentration. An embodiment of the invention overcomes this problem by detecting a sudden decrease in CO2 concentration within the freight vehicle from a concentration that is much elevated from a background atmospheric concentration of around 400 ppm. This sudden decrease can be attributed to opening of a door of a trailer allowing the escape of CO2 that has built up as the freight perishes.

Abstract: A system and method for quantifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk using one or more interferometric micro-Doppler radars (IMDRs) and deep learning artificial intelligence to distinguish between cognitively unimpaired individuals and persons with AD based on gait analysis. The system utilizes IMDR to capture signals from both radial and transversal movement in three-dimensional space to further increase the accuracy for human gait estimation. New deep learning technologies are designed to complement traditional machine learning involving separate feature extraction followed-up with classification to process radar signature from different views including side, front, depth, limbs, and whole body where some motion patterns are not easily describable. The disclosed cross-talk deep model is the first to apply deep learning to learn IMDR signatures from two perpendicular directions jointly from both healthy and unhealthy individuals.

More specifically, the system and method produce predictions of MCI conversions to Alzheimer's/dementia and prognosis related thereof. Using available medical imaging and non-imaging data a diagnosis and prognosis model is a deep learned model trained using transfer learning. An MCI-DAP server may then receive a request from a clinician to process predictions related to a target patient's diagnosis or prognosis. The target patient's medical data is retrieved and used to create a model for the target patient. Then details of the target patient's model and the diagnosis and prognosis model are compared, a prediction is generated, and the prediction is returned to the clinician. As new medical data becomes available it is fed into the respective model to improve accuracy and update predictions.

Abstract: According to an aspect of intrusion detectors for lorries, there is provided a method of detecting intrusion of one or more persons into cargo hold of a vehicle carrying goods that emit carbon dioxide the method comprising identifying an intrusion event by detecting a decrease in concentration of carbon dioxide within the cargo hold. For example, the intrusion evident may be identified by detecting a decrease in concentration of carbon dioxide within the cargo hold of at least 400 ppm. A decrease in CO2 can be attributed to unauthorised access being made into the cargo hold as cargo holds typically remain closed during a journey.
